Yay gift fic!!!! I have to apologise, Mystery Author, for being so late in getting to this fic - I've been extremely busy with uni and illness and blaaaah. But yay! This was lovely, the plot was very interesting, and all that background info was awfully good - the village sounded charming, and the past Snupin relationship with Snape waiting patiently in the cottage, oh! :( And then the culmination of Snarry, yay! Very sweet. :D
